Using basic film industry techniques and production values together with family photos, scrapbooks, slides and 16mm home movie footage, Mr. Novello creates customized, feature-length biographies that have put in perspective a family’s experiences. “In a way, I’m a family’s personalized Ken Burns of PBS’s Civil War fame”, says Mr. Novello. Mr. Novello’s video clips range from a couple’s “almost first date” to special events to experiences during World War II. “The video clips have a certain universality to them”. “You don’t have to be a celebrity to have an experience that’s important to remember,” Mr. Novello says. A Life Remembered is a Life Honored, the title of the event as well as the guiding principle of Mr. Novello’s Family Bio, is sure to be entertaining, insightful and educational.
